ALBANY -- Days after calling for an overhaul of gun control in New York following the Connecticut school shooting, Gov. Andrew Cuomo worked out a tough proposal on gun control with legislative leaders, who expected to pass one of the nation's most restrictive gun laws.

But while the Senate passed the measure, the Assembly called it a night, planning to vote Tuesday.

At least three of the state legislators representing parts of Saratoga County said they were voting against the bill -- Sens. Kathy Marchione and Hugh Farley and Assemblyman Jim Tedisco, all Republicans.

"This is a scourge on society," Cuomo said Monday night, one month after the Newtown, Conn., shooting that took the lives of 20 first-graders and six educators.

"At what point do you say, 'No more innocent loss of life,' " Republican Sen. Martin Golden said after Cuomo's remarks that the Senate would immediately take up the bill on a track to pass it. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver had said he expected the package of bills to be passed Monday.

"We're being asked to vote on legislation that would purportedly make New York a safer state but will accomplish nothing but penalizing law-abiding New Yorkers," Tedisco said in a press statement. "I support increasing penalties on those who commit acts of violence on school grounds and I support strengthening our mental health laws to prevent those who are unfit to own a gun to never have access to a firearm. We must strengthen penalties for anyone who uses an illegal gun or illegally gives a gun to someone who is prohibited from using one so we may prevent tragedies like what happened in Webster, N.Y., against our brave first-responders."

"We're being asked to vote on legislation that would purportedly make New York a safer state but will accomplish nothing but penalizing law-abiding New Yorkers. Here are the facts: rifles accounted for 5 of the 769 homicides in New York state in 2011. That same year, 161 deaths were caused by stabbings and 31 were from a blunt instrument such as a hammer. This legislation does not take any of this into account," Tedisco said in a press statement shortly before 11 p.m. "What is taking place tonight is secret government at its worst. I support our 2nd Amendment constitutional rights and I do not believe that something as important as our freedoms should be tinkered with in the dark of night to grab a headline.
